There are 5 curves between MP 365 and 366 and they are e to w: 20 degrees R, 20 L, 24 R, 24 L, 16 R. The three curves east of MP 365 are all 20 degrees. Most wye tracks are 24 degree curves.
I once stood in front of a double header EB of 65 cars when it make a start after taking coal at Monero. The engines nearly shook their wheels off the track by one spining and then the other, but they got the train on the move. What a show!!! And they started the train twice as they did not uncouple to take coal in each engine.
